[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
The Xoom should become available soon in WiFi only for $599, from what I understand. No data plan. Still $100-200 too much. The Adam is $375 and high quality.

As for your question on dual booting to Froyo from the Nook... Isn't this what you want? http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-dual-boot-nook-color-with-froyo-on-external-memory-card/

I'm about to try it myself.
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
I have the NC and the Viewsonic G Tab which has the same processor as the Xoom. The Viewsonic G tablet rooted is almost as good as the Xoom and a few hundred dollars cheaper. G tab has flash. Show such as CSI comes through very well - no jerks/hesitation.

There's a discount coupon available NOW (search these forums) for a 25% discount from motorola's website. Brings the xoom w/ case to $650 out the door and without a contract..

Still too much though..

[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
Software not well thought out, huh? Examples?

I'm sure I'll be rooting it and putting HC on there as soon as the dudes here figure it out. Or wait until Notion Ink comes out with it. I think the only problem with the Color Nook and Honeycomb is the screen is going to be too small for it. Right now for the money, I think the Adam has to be very appealing to guys like us, who like high quality hardware at a good price. re: the Nook.
[Nook Color General] yanger:
So you saying Adam has better hardware than Nook Color? I'm currently debating on buying a nook color or not, and throwing on cm7 honeycomb ... seen some videos and it seems to look ok.

Videos i'm referring to...

[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
I have the Color Nook and I also had the LCD version of the Adam. I got rid of the Adam because the screen was horrible. The viewing angle is about 2 degrees - and I'm not kidding. I posted a few pics of it somewhere on here, I think it was, comparing the two screens. The CN is FAR better, screen-wise. I don;t know about the PixelQi screen. Outside of that, the Adam was decent, though there were issues with the touch screen action, too, on the edges. And lastly, the hump at one end may seem like a good idea, but its not big enough to actually raise the backend off a flat surface enough to make any real difference in typing, and unless you're left-handed - which I am - and hold the thing in portrait mode while reading - which I don't, and can't imagine many would - then the hump would be better off on the bottom of the device to make a better grip.

Personally, I'm waiting until June for the Samsung tabs to come out. The 8.9" version might be just the right size. I had the iPad2 for a week ,or so - didn't like it!! Too iTunes-centric, of course, and Flash doesn't work, and Skyfire browser - which tries to get around the Flash issue by re-routing it to their servers, converting to HTML5, and sending it back - doesn't always work, whereas on the Nook it works very well.

The problem with the Nook is,m as someone else pointed out, the screen - though awesome in every way - is going to be too small for HC. I tried it out. Definitely too small for these eyes. I tried the Xoom, too, though, and had the same issues. I really don't know that I like HC very much, to be honest, but I do think that Samsung's HC build interface will be far better. Re-sizable widgets, for example.

The other, albeit riskier, option is the HP Touchpad. Though its the same exact size as the iPad/2. Which is a nice size, but kind of not for carrying around. Seems a little big to me. the Nook is a great size, but a little more real estate may be perfect - the 8.9"Samsung.
[Nook Color General] yanger:
lol. just got the nook. rooting it as i type. oh well ;) will find out how bad it is..
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
No worries. The Nook is fantastic, especially for the money. I just think HC is a bit small for my tastes - but, I'm half blind, so it may be a total non-issue for you. I like big and bright - which is why I bought the iPad 2. Too bad iTunes blows and you're stuck with the memory bought with the device and Flash sites don't work. How they think this is acceptable - and people buy them, regardless - is beyond me. There should at least be an option to turn off Flash, not just keep it from the user.

I'd be highly tempted to just stick with the Color Nook, to be honest. I don't really care about HC, but I do need Bluetooth for my headphones I bought right before I got the CN. They sit collecting dust now, and I used to really like using them. And a bigger screen would be nice for web pages. But... 8.9 or 10.1 aren't really that much better. I'm used to my 22" monitor. :)
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Don't get the Xoom, PERIOD. All the Tech experts (ie: Cnet, ect...) agree that you should wait until the competition kicks in this summer with better priced Tablets. Already there are some good ones coming out like the Acer Transformer that is priced below the iPad2 but has comparable features to the Xoom. The Xoom is just too much for it's feature set. So definitly wait.

Or get a Nook Color :D It's up to you, but definitly don't get the Xoom, $599 minimum is not worth it.

[Nook Color General] Maverick777:
I think there are 2 sets of tablet niches for now.

1. Mobile tablet. Small enough to hold in one hand and take it with you most of the time.

2. Home tablet. Big screen. Basically replaces laptops and PC's for basic stuff like browsing, checking email, playing games here and there. Maybe read a few books, but it's simply too big to really take with you most of the time.

The nooks current and future competition is the Galaxy Tab, Galaxy Tab 8.9, HTC Flyer, and G-Slate. None of these tough the Nook in terms of price. The Tab 8.9, HTC Flyer, and G-Slate are superior to the Nook in every way other than price.

Personally, I'm waiting to see how the Tab 8.9 shapes up and probably wait until Tegra 3 tablets come to market.

If you already have a Nook, you're not missing out on much except for some Tegra exclusive games. I'd wait until Tegra 3. By that time Honeycomb optimized apps should be much more abundant and the hardware will be much more mature. I'm hoping more companies will offer an Asus Transformer style dock/keyboard. If not, Asus has claimed that the keyboard will be compatible with other "Transformer" tablets in the future. So we can at least look forward to a Tegra 3 Transformer tablet.

[Xoom General] joeski27:
A really simple question for those who have the Xoom already (mine will be arriving next week), could you tell me whether or not it has a haptic feedback option? I just ask because while playing with one at a VZ store it seemed like it didn't have it, but I didn't dig any deeper.

Thanks!
[Xoom General] keitht:
Does not have it.
[Xoom General] joeski27:
Ok cool, didn't think so. Thanks!;)
[Xoom General] Greenblob:
not sure...

I've mucked around with my XOOM allot, and I'm confused with this topic - as I do feel vibration when I get a notification (like new mail) even when the sound is muted, so it may be answer similar to the SD card slot - the hardware is there but hast been utilized properly yet.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Low level sounds in some of my games do deliver quite a lot of vibration that almost feels like haptic feedback, but it isn't in the specs, so...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
So over the past few days I have been doing alot of research on rooting my phone. I have watched videos and read almost every thread concerning it. I understand the advantages and disadvantages of it. I have never done this before, but I am more than competent enough to follow the directions. I have taken it as far as using visionary and temp rooting my phone. I have a file manager downloaded, and a terminal emulator downloaded. If I go through with it I plan on following the directions in the thread using the gfree method. Ok, with that being said, my only real question is..if I follow the directions, obviously making sure my phone is charged as well, what are the chances of me bricking my phone? Is it incompetence that will create a brick? Or is it something that following the directions correctly will easily avoid?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianphanz0r:
just do it. -nike

follow directions and youll be fine. thats what i did
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
Yeah, it's pretty hard to brick your phone. One word of caution though: if you decide to flash the engineering bootloader, screwing up that command WILL brick your phone. Check it, re-check it, and do it over again just to be sure you've typed it properly.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Yea, not trying to get that in depth into it, just want to run some STABLE custom ROM's. I have spent the past 2 hours setting up adb and getting my phone to accept commands. Starting to get comfortable with that. I am really new to all of this, so I am trying to learn as much as I can before I jump into it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
UPDATE: Just need a couple more people to chime in on this. Like I said, I have ADB setup, my phone is accepting commands (rebooted over adb to test) I have visionary, I can temp root with no problem. I have read over the instructions, and understand them fully. I am not going to flash the engineering bootloader, just want to permroot to flash custom rom's and delete bloatware and such. So just doing permroot, is there a chance I can brick my phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
as long flash a revovery image. And dont mess with the radio file you should be okay.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Alright, thanks for the help, I am obviously a noob...Flashing the recovery is done right on the ROM Manager App right? And there is no way to accidentally mess with the radio?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
yes it can be done with clockwork ROM manager.

And no the radio has to be done on purpose.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Thanks for the help, It took me 2 days but I grew a pair and did it. Followed the directions on the guide and worked perfectly. Deleted Visionary, rebooted into hboot and have S off, went into my terminal emulator and still have superuser access. Thanks again!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueBlue_Drew:
You really should flash the Engineering bootloader. It makes it harder to brick your device in the future.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] signal15:
It took a bunch of reading, but I rooted my phone and my wife's phone using the gfree method, and installed the engineering bootloader.

Then, a month or so later, I upgraded to CM7. CM7, while still beta, is tons better than the stock firmware. I was going to do Ice Glacier, but developement stopped on it, and ultimately I wanted to be on CM anyway.

Better battery life, tons more features, no reason to complain.

Just do it. TMO should make CM stock on these phones.
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Hey, just happened to be browsing Phandroid and saw an article that the Market version of Flash should NOT be installed on the Atrix because it's not optimized for Tegra 2 and the preinstalled version on the phone is... of course, that was on the list of things downloaded on day 1 not realizing that Flash was apparently already on the phone. Should I uninstall the market app? And if I do, will that restore the phone to the built in "optimized" version... or will i lose Flash all together. Currently Flash works on the phone. (I verified that the Market version of Flash does indeed have a message on the "What's new" tab stating it shouldn't be installed on the Atrix)
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
My friend did this day one too. He fixed it by factory reset. now he gets 60fps flash on many websites... I'm seething with jealousy. (Atrix in the mail)
[Atrix 4G General] mchimney:
This is quite interesting, i don't remember installing flash from the market on my phone, but when i search for it, it says it's already installed. I'm doing a factory reset now to see if flash is on there to begin with or if i did infact install it from the market once
[Atrix 4G General] SpoonerPS3:
Damn. When I got my Atrix I installed all my apps through the Android Market from my PC...including Flash(apparently?). Don't want to do a factory reset so I'll just wait for a fix.
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Let us know what version comes preloaded on the phone :-)
[Atrix 4G General] mchimney:
I finished my factory reset.

Under "my apps" in the market, flash is not listed. However, if i search for flash in the market it says installed.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
I'm an android newb and I hate flash so I know that I did not install it. However, it is IS installed on the phone: version 10.1.120.10.

It doesn't show up with the rest of the programs though. You have to go:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Flash
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Do we know if there's an easy way to roll back to that version?
[Atrix 4G General] snlu178:
I do believe that if you installed the flash from the market you may be able to use uninstall updates from the manage applications menu.

Not sure though.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Just looked it up on the market and found this in the description:

I believe I may be in the same boat as those who have the version from the market... would be much appreciated if anyone has a method for restoring the original version that was installed with the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Did a bit of searching and it seems the Tegra 2 version has been leaked. The version available in the market is 10.1.106.16. The Tegra 2 version should be 10.1.120.10. I've downloaded the leaked Tegra 2 version from the link provided below and tested it out. As far as I can tell, it runs as it should. I'd still like to get the version originally included with the phone if possible, but the leaked version may be a decent alternative for the time being.

[Atrix 4G General] mgymnop:
I have the Tegra version 10.1.120.10 installed and I don't even can install the market version because it says it is already installed. So where is the problem?
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
Has anyone tried uninstalling the market version to see what happens?
[Atrix 4G General] hawkeyecs:
I removed the update, and now I have no flash...
[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
Well, you can download the market version or download the leaked tegra 2 version I posted above. I haven't had any issues with the leaked version for the tegra 2 so I don't think it's anything to worry about. Definitely going to download the market version again when they release the version built for the tegra 2 though.
[Atrix 4G General] UTZorro:
I just uninstalled the market version...which totally removed flash from my phone... I then installed the Tegra 2 version from the link above... worked smoothly, no problems (as far as i know!)

There was an issue using stock 2.1 with touchwiz having to be reset as the default home screen, when hitting "home" shortcut, if the phone had too many Apps open at once. That was no big deal. Now on EB13 with touchwiz 2.2. 1, it force closes and becomes unusable. I like touchwiz and figured out that if I don't open the keyboard while home and don't shortcut home from multiple open apps... I can use it. I would like to upgrade touchwiz, can we do that without rooting? Any other suggestions to fix are welcome.

If you can go to download mode, try flashing again.

I tried that but the flashing fails for sum reason =/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tempest2112:
You haven't said what you ROM you were flashing. It does sound like a bad flash. Have you tried downloading the ROM again, maybe from a different source, or possibly go to the samfirmwares page and choose something like the JM8 ROM ( and use odin with repartition ticked). I have had a similar problem like this and this route solved the problem.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipevale:
What version of odin are you using? I softbricked my sgs trying to flash voodoo lagfix with odin 1.3, then i reflashed with odin 1.7 and that did the trick to bring the phone back to life. Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] packerjd04:
So I have noticed that when I charge my phone through the outlet it charges MUCH quicker than when I have it plugged into my computer. Anyone know the reason for this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AKHincredible:
I'm not quite sure...but perhaps because it is coming from a direct power source? Whereas the computer isn't dedicated to just the phone, but rather throughout everything connected to it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProTekk:
The reason is because although PC USB ports can push out the 5V required for charging it literally only supplies half of the amperage. Wall charger = 1000 mA. PC USB = 500 mA.

I clicked to buy it and it acted like it downloaded something to activate the program. I used the program a little and decided to upgrade my rom. The full version didn't work anymore, so I called t-mobile to make sure I could activate it again without being charged. The rep said there was no record of me having purchased any apps through them and that I would probably have to email the developer to have it reactivated for free. There is no contact info through the app and I was never billed for it. I reactivated using the buy button again and, again, I've never been charged for the app.

Can someone post how to root 2.3.3 for mac users. The thread in the development section needs to be updated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Should still be the same. Have you tried it? You'll have to unlock your bootloader but other than that the commands to run stuff and the files should all be up to date. I'll go check.

Checked, and you'll need to get the updated SDK from here, the updated recovery image from here (find the one for the Google Nexus S, its near the bottom), and the most up-to-date superuser file here.

You'll need to slightly modify one command:

Instead of:

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.0-crespo.img

Use:

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.img

Finally, with my newest SDK a fastboot file was not included so in that case just use the attached file (it'll be at the bottom of my post).
